www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-13-sony-defends-decision-to-block-cross-play-with-xbox-one-and-nintendo-switchThe story is a bit old, but I had to look up because I didn't believe ReviewTechUSA in saying that it was to protect the kids. Eurogamer: Well, you must see that PlayStation owners are upset. They want to play with Switch owners, PC owners and Xbox One owners for these two big and important games, and they don't have an explanation for why. That's what I'm getting at, really. Jim Ryan: Yeah. We've got to be mindful of our responsibility to our install base. Minecraft - the demographic playing that, you know as well as I do, it's all ages but it's also very young. We have a contract with the people who go online with us, that we look after them and they are within the PlayStation curated universe. Exposing what in many cases are children to external influences we have no ability to manage or look after, it's something we have to think about very carefully. I don't know about you, but that's a load of BS.

It's anything but an unique decision. Other publishers have already made the same decision for other games.
I would assume the process have been similar in this case, i.e. there have been experiments. What happens is that the PC players absolutely crush the console players. Because they want to (console wars), and because they can (more experience and knowledge of the game, better platform, advantageous interface, hacks and bots, etc).
No, it's better they're in separate worlds.

Isn't it to do with, Sony cannot control what happens to players who break rules when using a different console. So say someone on the Xbox attacks a PS4 user, Sony cannot take action against the Xbox player, like ban their account.
